Chapter 1655: Alerting the Enemy

“Fortunately, Yun Feidian was stopped,” Meng Chao said.

“He has only been stopped temporarily,” Shen Yuanbao corrected him.

“You don’t understand these old guys. It’s not that they really don’t agree with Yun Feidian’s plan. They’re just worried that the ordinary people will strongly oppose it, causing them to suffer unnecessary losses and allowing the Deity Realm experts of the ‘non-nine major schools’ to reap the benefits.

“Furthermore, they can’t wait for Yun Feidian to not listen to orders and take matters into his own hands. They’ll use extreme methods to deal with Lu Siya and both of them will suffer heavy losses. They’ll be able to trail behind and take advantage of the situation.

“For Yun Feidian, this is also the only way for him to realize his personal ambitions and let Thundercloud Technology overtake the others. It’s the only way for him to take the lead among the nine mega corporations.

“The opportunity is fleeting. Even though he knows that the risk is extremely high, he’ll still take it for sure.

“And once Yun Feidian really makes a move on Lu Siya, the nine mega corporations and Azure Alliance will have the most intense collision. When that time comes, no matter who wins, the nine mega corporations will pay a terrible price.

“To make up for their losses, Universe Corporation will become the most delicious pie in the eyes of the other eight companies. Just look at the example from earlier. To tempt Lu Zhongqi into sacrificing his own granddaughter, weren’t they prepared to carve up Universe Corporation’s entire market?

“Now that the situation has developed to this point, I have no other choice but to cooperate with you to protect Universe Corporation!”

“It’s great that you’re able to understand the situation, Senior Shen.”

Meng Chao nodded. “Whether it’s for the Shen family, Universe Corporation, or Dragon City, you and I must join hands to stop the radicals of the nine mega corporations, such as Yun Feidian, from dragging Dragon City into the abyss of destruction for their personal ambitions!”

“In that case, we must find the real murderer who tried to assassinate me and caused the explosion of The Bright Light before Yun Feidian does anything to Lu Siya.”

Shen Yuanbao’s eyes were as sharp as lightning. “If I’m not wrong, the real murderer is not only related to the Blood Alliance but also to the real monster remnant, the tenth Supernatural Entity!”

Meng Chao frowned slightly.

Judging from the available evidence, his conclusion was the same as Shen Yuanbao’s.

The problem was, he had information that nobody, including Shen Yuanbao, knew.

It was likely that Lu Siya herself was the tenth Supernatural Entity!

However, it was impossible for Lu Siya to have caused the explosion of The Bright Light.

If Lu Siya were truly the culprit, there would be no need for her to appear at the entrance of Universe Corporation’s headquarters to stop the chaos from escalating.

She could have hidden in the dark and sent out her own minions to blend in with the crowd to fan the flames. Similarly, she could have made the crowd even angrier and more violent, completely blowing up the situation.

As long as she hid well enough, Yun Feidian would not know where she was even if he wanted to capture her. How could he do it?

There had to be something else going on.

Time was of the essence for Meng Chao.

“There isn’t much time left for us.”

Shen Yuanbao coughed lightly. “There must be a mole in the Shen family, a mole from the Blood Alliance. Cough, cough, cough. But, the mole is very calm. He won’t surface while I’m alive.

“Tell me, aside from dying, what else can I do to bait the mole?”

“Are you going to fake your death, Senior Shen?”

Meng Chao muttered, “Will the mole believe it?”

“It doesn’t matter whether the mole believes it or not. What matters is the other members of the Shen family… Cough, cough, cough, cough… believe it… Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough… don’t believe it!”

The way Shen Yuanbao coughed sounded like his chest was about to tear apart.

His face alternated between red and pale.

He fumbled around and took out a disposable syringe that looked like a pen from the side of the medical cabin.

He injected a tube of green gene reagent into his blood vessels and expelled streams of foul-smelling toxins from the thirty-six thousand pores on his body. Only then did his face become slightly more normal.

Shen Yuanbao then told Meng Chao his plan.

After Meng Chao heard it, he frowned a little and said, “It sounds like this is the only feasible plan right now. The problem is, Senior Shen, don’t you think that doing this is too risky for your children? The entire Shen family might end up in internal strife and fall apart.”

“I have no choice. I don’t have much time left. I can only gamble. Otherwise, the Shen family will undoubtedly fall apart when I actually die.”

Shen Yuanbao panted as he said, “These unfilial descendants have stayed in the greenhouse for too long. They have lost their keen sense of smell, their courage to fight, and most importantly, their feeling of hunger.

“If I can help them regain some of their beastly nature after they pass this test, perhaps the Shen family will be able to hold on for at least a few more decades or a hundred years after I leave.

“Hehe, if they really can’t help themselves, then the Shen family that I personally built will be buried with me. It’s better than letting it be completely ruined by those unworthy descendants. Even my name, ‘Shen Yuanbao,’ would be ridiculed by others!”

“…I understand,” Meng Chao said.

“Well then, please begin your journey to the afterlife, Senior Shen. Don’t worry. I’ll definitely fish out the mole!”

…

Shen Yufeng only hesitated outside her father’s ward for a second.

Yet, ten thousand thoughts had already flashed through her mind.

Ever since her father reprimanded her mercilessly at the family meeting a few days ago, berating her for not doing a good job in the education and supervision of the Shen family’s descendants, she had almost lost all hope of inheriting the Shen family and Universe Corporation.

Shen Yufeng, who was completely disheartened, could only constantly remind herself to stay away from the whirlpool of power and never think about inheriting the rights. Once the old man’s soul returned to Earth, she would think of another way. She would get her share of the old man’s inheritance and go far away to establish her own family. It was not necessarily impossible for her to break through to a new world.

However, when her father summoned her again, her heart, which had already calmed down, began to beat wildly again. She could not help but dwell on it.

“Why is the old man looking for me now?

“Could it be that he hasn’t given up on me and still thinks highly of me as the new leader of the Shen Family?

“And the old man’s thunderous anger in the meeting hall the other day was just a smoke bomb he released?

“Or perhaps, he was using that situation to test my temperament?

“It makes sense. During the meeting that day, the old man rebuked almost all the heirs. Many of them were disheartened, and they gave up on themselves. The old man obviously saw their reactions.

“Only I remained calm in the face of honor and shame.

“That’s likely how I passed the old man’s test!”

As she thought about it, Shen Yufeng’s brows rose in joy.

However, when the door opened slightly from the inside, someone dragged her in. After adapting to the dim lighting in the room, she saw someone who should not have appeared there.

More accurately speaking, it was someone who should not have been there at the same time as her.

Her elder brother, Shen Yuhe, was in charge of Universe Corporation’s genetic medicine business. Although he was weak, sickly, and not highly competitive in the eyes of outsiders, in theory, he also had the right of inheritance.
